Agricultural Technician Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I recently saw the Agricultural Technician role at [Company Name] and it struck a chord with how I work in the paddock and the lab. On a typical week I help map soil and topography, adjust planting and fertilising plans, and verify crop health with practical checks in the field. In my last role at [Previous Company], we used a simple soil probe and handheld EC meter to guide decisions, and that approach helped us move from trial and error to plans that held up under varying seasons. I’m comfortable with soil analysis, nutrient deficiency checks, and plant health monitoring, and I’ve worked closely with production planning and data collection to support smarter decisions. I also have hands on experience with pest and weed identification, pathogen screening, and coordinating with the team on crop processing steps. I’m keen to bring steady, practical problem solving to [Company Name] and to keep learning how your operations balance yield with quality. There was a project last year where we reassessed a hay rotation on the feed side and adjusted our fertilisation and harvest timing. I helped collect data and run a few small trials, then translated findings into concrete steps for the team. The changes significantly improved pasture resilience and reduced late season losses, while keeping compliance and animal health front and centre. I’m available to discuss how my background fits the role and the current needs of your operation. If it suits, I can drop by for a chat or a site visit in the coming week. Kind regards, [Your Name]
